The embodiments described herein set forth techniques for enabling datamigration between a first device running a first operating system and asecond device running a second operating system that is different fromthe first operating system. According to some embodiments, the datamigration is carried out over a private wireless network hosted by thefirst device. The wireless network parameters associated with theprivate wireless network are derived from a code generated at the firstdevice. When a connection is established between the first and seconddevices via the private wireless network, the data from the seconddevice can be migrated to the first device.

Accordingly, the techniques described herein provide a mechanism formigrating data between the first and second devices that are owned by auser in a secure manner over the private wireless network. A moredetailed discussion of these techniques is set forth below and describedin conjunction with FIGS. 1-6, which illustrate detailed diagrams ofsystems and methods that can be used to implement these techniques.

FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of different components of a system100 that is configured to implement the various techniques describedherein, according to some embodiments. More specifically, FIG. 1illustrates a high-level overview of the system 100, which, as shown,includes a first device 110 and a second device 120. In most cases, eachof the first device 110 and the second device 120 are owned by a sameuser, but the embodiments set forth herein are not limited to such ascenario. The first device 110 can represent a mobile computing device(e.g., an iPhone®, an iPad®, or other any other mobile computing deviceby Apple®) running a first operating system (e.g., a mobile operatingsystem (iOS) by Apple®). The second device 120 can represent a mobilecomputing device (e.g., a smartphone, a tablet computing device, or anyother mobile computing device) running a second operating system (e.g.,a mobile operating system (Android™) by Google). The second device 120can represent a device that supports Application Programming Interfaces(APIs) for gathering data, is capable of connecting to a wirelessnetwork, and is capable of running applications provided by amanufacturer of the first device 110 (e.g., Apple®). The first device110 and the second device 120 are configured to communicate via awireless network 102 that is hosted by the first device 110. Thewireless network 102 can include a Wi-Fi network, a Bluetooth network, aBluetooth low energy (BT LE) network, or other wireless networks, aswould be appreciated.

Although not illustrated in FIG. 1, the processor 112, in conjunctionwith the memory 114, can implement the first operating system (OS) thatis configured to execute various applications (e.g., native OSapplications and user applications) on the first device 110. Similarly,the processor 122, in conjunction with the memory 124, can implement thesecond OS that is configured to execute various applications (e.g.,native OS applications and user applications) on the second device 120.

According to some embodiments, the first device 110 represents a newdevice that is recently purchased or recently acquired by the user andthe second device 120 represents a device that the user owns and hasbeen operating over time. The user typically desires to transfer/migratedata (e.g., personal and/or irreplaceable data) from the old device tothe new device such that the transition from the old device to the newdevice is seamless for the user. The data can include, for example,contact information, calendar information, message history, mail,bookmarks, wallpaper settings, information regarding installedapplications, pictures/photos, songs, movies, books, and so on.

FIG. 2 illustrates a sequence diagram of a method 200 for enabling datamigration between the first device 110 and the second device 120,according to some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 2, at step 202, thefirst device 110 receives a request to migrate data from the seconddevice 120. In some embodiments, the request is received during a setupphase of the first device 110 (e.g., when the newly acquired firstdevice 110 is being set up). In some implementations, the user ispresented with various options for setting up the first device 110.

The user is presented with a user interface (UI) at the first devicethat enables the user to select how the first device 110 is to be setup. For example, the options can include: 1) set up as a new device, 2)set up by restoring from backup, 3) set up by restoring from a medialibrary (e.g., iTunes® by Apple®), or 4) set up by migrating from thesecond device 120. When the user selects the fourth option of “migratingfrom the second device 120 to the first device 110”, the user ispresented with a setup screen 302 (as illustrated in FIG. 3) in the UI.The setup screen 302 acknowledges the selection of the user and presentstext/instructions explaining operations to be carried out at the seconddevice 120. When the user selects the “next” button 306 on the setupscreen 302, the user is presented with a setup screen 304 (asillustrated in FIG. 3).

Referring back to FIG. 2, at step 204, the first device 110 generates acode that is utilized to establish a secure private wireless networkthat is local to and hosted by the first device 110. The code caninclude a numeric code or any other code that can be securely sharedbetween the first device 110 and the second device 120. For example, thefirst device 110 can generate a five or a six digit pairing PIN as thecode. The code is presented at the setup screen 304 (as shown in FIG. 3)where the user is instructed to enter the generated code at the seconddevice 120. As will be appreciated, other forms of codes and/or pairinginformation (e.g., QR codes, barcodes, pairing images, etc.) can begenerated by the first device 110 for purposes of establishing thesecure private wireless network. For example, the first device 110 cangenerate a QR code that is presented at the setup screen 304 where theuser can be instructed to scan the QR code at the second device 120.

The first device 110 establishes the private wireless network, at step206. In some embodiments, the first device 110 disconnects any existingwireless network connections prior to establishing the private wirelessnetwork. In some embodiments, the first device 110 serves as a wirelessaccess point and functions as a hotspot such that the private wirelessnetwork hosted by the first device 110 can be utilized for data exchangebetween the first device 110 and the second device 120. The first device110 derives, based on the code, a number of wireless network parametersassociated with the private wireless network. The wireless networkparameters can include a network name (also referred to as a service setidentifier (SSID)) and pre-shared key(s) (or other shared secret) usedfor encryption purposes. In some embodiments, the first device 110initiates a number of services associated with the private wirelessnetwork. For example, the services can include Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol (DHCP) for Internet Protocol (IP) addressallocation, multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) for discovery of thefirst device 110 and the second device 120, and/or other services.

According to some embodiments, the generation of the code is triggeredin response to the selection of the “next” button 306 on the setupscreen 302, as shown in FIG. 3. In some embodiments, when the userselects the “next” button 306, the first device 110 performs a number ofoperations, including: 1) generating the code, 2) presenting the code atsetup screen 304, 3) establishing the private wireless network, 4)deriving the network name and pre-shared key(s), and 5) initiating theservices associated with the private wireless network. At this point,the first device 110 and the second device 120 are not in communicationwith one another.

Referring to FIG. 3, the setup screen 302 displays instructionsexplaining the operations to be carried out by the user at the seconddevice 120. Thus, during the setup phase, the user is also instructed tocarry out a number of operations at the second device 120, where theoperations can include: 1) go to an application store (e.g., Google PlayStore or other app store), 2) download a migration application thatfacilitates the migration of data between the first device 110 and thesecond device 120, and 3) run the migration application. In someembodiments, the migration application comprises an application providedby the manufacturer of the first device 110 (e.g., Apple®).

Referring back to FIG. 2, at step 208, the migration application isdownloaded at the second device 120. When the migration application isexecuting at the second device 120, the migration application presents aUI at the second device 120 requesting the user to input the code beingdisplayed at the setup screen 304 of the first device 110. At step 210,the migration application at the second device 120 receives the codeentered by the user. At step 212, the migration application at thesecond device 120 also derives the wireless network parameters (e.g.,the network name and pre-shared key(s)) of the private wireless networkhosted by the first device 110 based on the code.

When the migration application derives the wireless network parameters,the migration application at the second device 120 automaticallyconnects to the private wireless network hosted by the first device 110.In other words, at step 214, a connection is established between thefirst device 110 and the second device 120 via the private wirelessnetwork hosted by the first device 110. When the first device 110 andthe second device 120 are on the private wireless network (i.e., aredirectly connected to one another via the private wireless network),they perform discovery and handshake procedures and exchange a series ofkeys and certificates (that offer an additional layer of security attransport layer) to ensure that any communication over the privatewireless network will be performed in a secure manner. In someembodiments, during the handshake procedures, the first device 110 andthe second device 120 can exchange basic information regardingcapabilities of the devices (e.g., wireless protocol(s) supported,hardware features, information transfer rate, types of data (e.g.,photos, videos, and the like) supported, etc.). Moreover, the firstdevice 110 and the second device 120 can negotiate an appropriatewireless protocol to be used for the data migration process based on theexchange.

At this point, the first device 110 and the second device 120 are ableto communicate with one another over the private wireless network.According to some embodiments, the second device 120 can act as a webservice (e.g., a RESTful web service, HTTPS web service) that canrespond to queries made by the first device 110.

At step 216, a migration phase is initiated where the first device 110receives a summary of data from the second device 120 over the privatewireless network. In some embodiments, the first device 110 queries thesecond device 120 for the summary of data that is available on thesecond device 120. In some implementations, the summary of data includesa subset of available data on the second device 120. For example, thesubset of available data can include address book data, calendar data,and/or other data that is known to be compatible with the first device110. The summary of data is received at the first device 110 wheredeterminations are made regarding whether the first device 110 hasenough space to store all the data and an amount of time required toperform the migration of the data from the second device 120. In someimplementations, in response to a determination that the first device110 does not have enough space to store all the data from the seconddevice 120, the first device 110 can trigger the second device 120 topresent a UI (via the migration application) for selection of particulartypes of data that the user desires to migrate. For example, the UI canpresent various options (e.g., songs, photos, videos, etc.) from whichthe user can make a selection. In this manner, when all the data fromthe second device 120 cannot be migrated to the first device 110, theuser is provided with an option to choose the types of data to bemigrated.

At step 218, the first device 110 receives data records associated withthe summary of data over the private wireless network. In other words,user data associated with the summary of data is migrated from thesecond device 120. When the data records are received at the firstdevice 110, the wireless connection between the first device 110 and thesecond device 120 can be disconnected, at step 220. At this point, thesecond device 120 can be powered off.

In some embodiments, the data records received from the second device120 are imported at the first device 110. In other words, the datarecords are imported and written to a database at the first device 110.For example, the data records are analyzed and particular categories ofdata records (e.g., pictures, movies, songs, etc.) are imported intoappropriate folders on the first device 110. In some embodiments, themigration of data records and synchronization of the database is anatomic process, i.e., when confirmation is obtained that a data recordhas been imported, any updates to the data record can be performed.

According to some embodiments, when the data records have been imported,a post-migration phase is initiated at the first device 110 where anumber of post-migration operations can be performed. The post-migrationoperations can include account setup, matching of free applications,creating a wish list of applications, and/or other operations. Duringthe account setup operation, any user settings or personalization (e.g.,mail, contacts, calendar, wallpaper, etc.) identified from data receivedfrom the second device 120 are applied at the first device 110. Also,when a determination is made that the user had a particular account(e.g., a mail account, a chat service account, etc.) at the seconddevice 120, the parameters associated with the account (e.g., accountID) are pre-configured at the first device 110. Thus, the account isalready set up for the user at the first device 110 and the user issimply prompted to enter his or her credentials (e.g., password) whenthe user tries to access/log in the account at the first device 110.Hence, the account setup operations described herein offer a seamlessexperience to the user as they obviate the need for the user to have toindividually re-create accounts at the first device 110 that already arefunctional on the second device 120. Notably, situations can potentiallyoccur where data records are received at the first device 110 and areuninterpretable by the first device 110. This can occur, for example,when certain data records that are understood by the second device 120(but not by the first device 110) are mistakenly gathered from thesecond device 120 and included in the data records that are sent to thefirst device 110 for processing. Accordingly, to avoid situations wherethe first device 110 undergoes a failure when encountering suchuninterpretable data records, the first device 110 can be configured toimplement exception handlers that cause the first device 110 to (1)cease processing an uninterpretable data record, and (2) take acorrective course of action. A corrective course of action can include,for example, ignoring the uninterpretable data record and moving on to anext data record, attempting to identify and process the uninterpretabledata record using auxiliary processing techniques, and the like.According to some embodiments, the first device 110 can be configured tomaintain a record of the uninterpretable data records that are processedso that they can be presented to a user of the first device 110 duringthe migration or upon a completion of the migration. In this manner, theuser of the first device 110 can review the uninterpretable data recordsand make his or her own decisions about migrating those records to thefirst device 110 (e.g., using manual techniques).

According to some embodiments, the user is provided at the first device110 with an option to download matching applications (i.e., applicationsthat match installed applications on the second device 120) from anapplication store (e.g., App store by Apple®) at the first device 110.This can be based on, for example, information associated with theapplications installed on the second device 120 (e.g., names ofapplications, developer names, etc.). When the user launches theapplication store at the first device 110, the user is provided with arecommendation to download free matching applications from theapplication store. Also, a wish list of applications can be created forthe user at the first device 110, where the wish list contains a list ofpaid applications that the user might be interested in or that the userhad installed on the second device 120.

According to some embodiments, the data migration process between thefirst device 110 and the second device 120 is fault-tolerant. In otherwords, if the network connection is lost or one of the devices losespower (due to reboot or other reasons), the data migration process isonly temporarily interrupted and can be resumed as soon as the networkconnection or device power is restored. In some implementations, thestatus of the data migration process is maintained at the first device110. The first device 110 keeps record of a particular state in the datamigration process. The particular state can include informationregarding the operation (e.g., transfer of summary of data, transfer ofdata records, etc.) that was being performed when the connection/devicepower was lost, an amount of data (e.g., bytes of data, a number ofrecords) that was migrated or imported prior to losing theconnection/device power, and the like. In some embodiments, the datamigration can be stopped and resumed as desired without affecting theconsistency of the migration process.

In some embodiments, the first device 110 and the second device 120 areusable while the data migration process is being carried out. Also,because the data migration occurs over the private wireless networkhosted by the first device 110 and is not dependent on the externalnetwork environment the devices are in, the devices can continue thedata migration (so long as the connection between the devices remainsintact). For example, if a user takes the two devices to a retail storewhere the data migration process over the private wireless network isstarted, the user can walk out of the retail store with the two deviceswithout interrupting the data migration process as the process does notrely on any third-party network (e.g., retail store network).

In some embodiments, when an existing connection between the firstdevice 110 and the second device 120 is disconnected during the datamigration process and the user attempts to restart the data migrationprocess, a different private wireless network can be established basedon a new code generated at the first device 110. The second device 120can derive the wireless network parameters associated with the differentprivate wireless network and establish a new connection. When the firstdevice 110 and the second device 120 discover one another, they are ableto identify one another (e.g., based on unique identifiers), and thedata migration process can be resumed from the point where the existingconnection was disconnected.

FIG. 4 illustrates a method 400 that is carried out by the first device110 of FIG. 1, according to one embodiment. As shown, the method 400begins at step 402, where the first device 110 receives a request tomigrate data from the second device 120 during the setup phase of thefirst device 110. In response to the request, the first device 110generates a code, at step 404. At step 406, the code is utilized toestablish a private wireless network that is hosted by the first device110. The first device 110 derives wireless network parameters associatedwith the private wireless network.

At step 408, a connection is established with the second device 120 viathe private wireless network. In some embodiments, when the migrationapplication at the second device 120 also derives the wireless networkparameters based on the code, the connection between the first device110 and second device 120 is automatically established via the privatewireless network.

At step 410, the first device 110 queries the second device 120 for thedata to migrated to the first device 110. At step 412, the first device110 receives the data records from the second device 120. In someembodiments, the first device 110 receives a summary of data that isavailable on the second device 120. When the summary of data iscollected, the data records containing actual user data are receivedfrom the second device 120.

FIG. 5 illustrates a method 500 carried out by the migration applicationexecuting at the second device 120 of FIG. 1, according to oneembodiment. As shown, the method 500 begins at step 502, where themigration application is downloaded to the second device 120. Whenexecuted at the second device 120, the migration application presents aUI that requests the user to enter the code. At step 504, the migrationapplication receives the code entered by the user via the UI. At step506, the migration application derives, based on the code, the wirelessnetwork parameters associated with the private wireless network hostedby the first device 110.

When the wireless network parameters are derived, the migrationapplication establishes a connection with the first device 110 via theprivate wireless network, at step 508. At step 510, the migrationapplication responds to any queries/requests for data made by the firstdevice 110. In particular, the summary of data and the data records atthe second device 120 are provided to the first device 110 based on therequests.
